Thoughts For the Weekend- 10/16 and 10/23


10/16-
How close to the ceiling does a fly have to be before he flips over and lands on the ceiling?

I highly doubt that a fly (or any living organism) can sustain flying upside for any period of time, so the fly probably has to be really, really close and just grab the ceiling, or it could do a sort of miniature loop-de-loop manuever and land on the ceiling at the peak of the loop.

10/23-
Who tastes dog food when it has a 'new & improved' flavor?

If you ask me, the "new and improved flavor" is just an advertising ploy. Dry dog food is dry dog food, and I don't think dogs really care about tiny differences in the flavor of dog food- unless it's some good old meat, it isn't anything special. Of course, maybe there are actual people who would go through testing the dog food, but "improved" is a relative term and anything put out there can be called "new." My mom suggested that perhaps they do testing in which they put two different types of dog food out for a dog, and the dog would choose what it wants to eat, but again, dogs can't really communicate its opinions of the food, and it probably doesn't matter to them anyways.
